Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois may miss out on a world title shot next.
Joshua and Dubois had discussed a massive bout at Wembley Stadium on September 21, which was anticipated to be for the IBF world title.

Joshua and Dubois are in negotiations to meet in the ring.
Oleksandr Usyk presently has the belt and was scheduled to be stripped, but he has sought an exception to try to maintain it until his rematch with Tyson Fury on December 21.
Regardless of the judgment, it appeared that matters will be settled before the fight to determine whether they will fight for world glory.
However, according to the IBF, who were contacted by Sky Sports, they have yet to receive an official request for the all-British event to be sanctioned for the heavyweight title.
A press conference in London is set for June 26, giving teams a limited time to get world title sanctioning for the match.
Joshua suggested his future will be made clear on social media, posting on Instagram: &#8220;Nearly finished my negotiations for my next fight! Feeling motivated.&#8221;
Talks were underway to settle the best of British with &#8216;Dynamite&#8217; after he stopped Filip Hrgovic to become clear IBF mandatory challenger.
But there were also other options in the running, including Zhilei Zhang who defeated Deontay Wilder with a brutal KO.
Joseph Parker has also issued a call-out to AJ, and is plotting revenge after his points defeat to the former Olympian in March 2018.

Parker wants to avenge his defeat to Joshua in a sequel.
He said: &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of people that want to fight Anthony Joshua. I feel like with what I&#8217;ve done I can be in a position to fight him.
&#8220;To be honest, it&#8217;s not really about what I want and what he wants. It&#8217;s what everyone else wants and a lot of fights are happening in Saudi Arabia.
&#8220;You never know how things are going to unfold. So we&#8217;ll see. We&#8217;ll see what happens.
&#8220;But you&#8217;ve got Anthony Joshua. I let whatever happens happen and whatever fights they lock, they lock in and I&#8217;m ready for whoever.&#8221;

Joshua is in a rich vein of form having beaten Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou with vicious KOs since teaming up with new trainer Ben Davison.
He will be hoping for his following fight in 2025 to be a shot at the winner of Usyk&#8217;s rematch with Fury, irrespective of his next opponent in September.
